5pm: Ran to work tonight. 2.7 miles in 20:39 (7:39s). 72 degrees and light rain.
After helping out running the grill at the concession stand for the conference swim meet I ran home the long way. Its hard to understand one's body sometimes. Some nights you're body is just in the groove. I had planned on this just being a brisk easy run. 7:20-7:30 range. Everything felt comfortable, but I could just tell I was moving along. First 3 miles in 20:35 (6:52). Next .6 in 4:01 (6:42s). Next mile in 6:38 and the finishing mile in 6:27 for a 5.6 time of 37:41 (6:43s) and then a 1 mile cool down in 7:54. This was a good run for me. Moderate stress, I'm having a tough time with this template. I don't really know what to call miles run at 6:45 pace, for lack of a better category they're going under M-pace for now.
